Author has written 32 stories for Supernatural, Horror, Sci-Fi, General, and Essay.

Hey, I'm Brian and I'm 33 years old. I've been writing stories here and there since I was little. I don't claim to be good, I just do it for the enjoyment.

This account has been dormant for (Holy crap!) 10 years. I figured I'd throw something up and see if this site's still active.

I'm not holding out a lot of hope on getting famous and published and whatnot, but of course it would be nice if it ever did happen. I write mostly for the creative outlet it provides, and also I write because I like to think that people enjoy reading what I come up with.

If you haven't read any of my stories yet you wouldn't realize that the human mind is one of my favorite subjects. The things it's capable of, the things it can conjure up, it fascinates me. A lot of my stories describe nothing more than hallucinations of the characters -- or events that seem real but in the end leave the character wondering if they actually were. I guess it doesn't make for such a satisfying ending, but I like them anyhow.

"...and while it may seem somewhat far fetched, know that everything imaginable exists somewhere, somehow. There can be no impossibilities if our universe is truly infinite."

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of it's contents."
